We know for our problem that the zeroes of our quadratic equation are (2-3i) and (2+3i), which means that the solutions for our equation are x=2-3i and x=2+3i. We are going to use those solutions to express our quadratic equation in the form a x^{2} +bx+c; to do that we will use the <span>zero factor property in reverse:
</span>x=2-3i
x-2=-3i
x-2+3i=0
<span>
</span>x=2+3i
x-2=3i
x-2-3i=0
<span>
Now, we can multiply the left sides of our equations:
</span>(x-2+3i)(x-2-3i)= x^{2} -2x-3ix-2x+4+6i+3ix-6i-3^2i^2
<span>= </span>x^{2}-4x+4-9i^{2}
= x^{2} -4x+4+9
= x^{2} -4x+13
Now that we have our quadratic in the form a x^{2} +bx+c, we can infer that a=1 and b=-4; therefore, we can conclude that a+b=1+(-4)=1-4=-3.

What is the power dissipated by a 5ohm resistor if the current is 4A?​
posledela

Answer:

Answer: First, we use Ohm's law ( V = I × R ), to find the current through the resistor. The voltage across the resistor is V = 9 V. The resistance of the resistor is R = 100 Ω. Then, we can use the power rule ( P = I × V ), to find the power dissipated by the resistor
